Key Features
A SAXS System with Endless Experimental Possibilities
The SAXSpoint 700's redesigned measurement chamber offers unmatched flexibility, with ample space, a wide range of sample environments, and customization options tailored to your experimental needs. Easily adapt your system for nanostructured material analysis and switch between sample stages effortlessly, thanks to SAXSdrive™ software and automatic stage recognition, which ensures precise alignment of all components.
Tackle demanding studies with a broad temperature range from -150 °C to 500 °C, integrate full rheological and nanostructural analysis using the RheoSAXS module, and automate experiments with temperature-controlled samplers—even under ambient air conditions.

Pure Brilliance
Tackle challenging samples with the support of a best-in-class beam delivery system. With a brilliant X-ray beam offering over 99.9 % spectral purity (Cu Kα) and scatterless beam collimation, you’ll achieve synchrotron-like data quality—including SAXS, WAXS, GISAXS, USAXS, and RheoSAXS—with minimal effort and short exposure times.
This SAXS system, with its outstanding setup and industry-leading optical system, allows for the resolution of structures up to 620 nm (USAXS up to the µm range) at the most compact system size (3.6 m × 0.9 m).

SAXS and WAXS in One Go
Collect SAXS and WAXS data in a single run with Slidemaster—no realignment of the SAXS system required. Skip time-consuming setup steps between measurements and streamline your workflow. Simply select the optimal q-range for each experiment, from high-resolution SAXS to broad-range WAXS.
Automatic beamstop selection takes another task off your plate, saving both time and effort. And with EIGER2 R detectors, you can even perform fully beamstop-less measurements.

Powerful Software and Unique Scripting Capabilities
The intuitive SAXSdrive™ and SAXSanalysis™ software work seamlessly with automated routine steps, letting you set up experiments while focusing on more important tasks. Analyze your 1D and 2D datasets using customizable templates and calculate key parameters such as radius of gyration (Rg), particle size, Porod constant, specific surface area, and Kratky plots. Data can be exported to all major analysis packages for further processing.
For advanced users, a dedicated Python API offers full scripting control—an ideal setup for customizing and optimizing your SAXS experiments.
